- Set your smoker to 225F and allow it to heat up for about 15 minutes. 
- Place the ribs, fat side down, onto the grill grates. 
- Insert your thermometer (only if it's heat resistant) into the thickest part of the meat, aiming for muscle, not fat. 
- Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 165F. 
- Wrap the ribs in foil or butcher paper and return to the smoker. 
- Smoke until the temperature reaches 200-205F. 
- Once cooked, remove the ribs from the smoker and place into a large cooler, and close the lid. 
- Allow it to rest for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
